The design was a deliberate one by HTC to cripple any chance of playing games on the directional pad. If you have followed windows mobile devices since the iPaq days (I have), every single one of them has had issues with the DPad..... from not being able to sense two key presses, to poor or non-available diagonals, to the current silly raised ring (great for scrolling) with mushy vague directional controls.

After seeing someone playing a racing game on the iPhone with the tilt sensor, I might hold out to see if games come or just return the phone and move back to the Mogul.
